cut springs is a touchy subject with benz owners it seems like.... Though its not like you're going to jump the car over a river, Dukes Of Hazard style. You WILL need to couple the cut springs together with a sport strut or you will bounce around because you will be riding bottomed out on bump stops of the stock struts. You're going to have to shell out money one way or another when modifying suspension. even if you plan to cut the stock springs. its not a "free" way to lower your car its just the cheap way. a nice set of sport struts will run you around $400 for a set. lowering springs are around $250. If you dont have a mercedes specific spring compressor and are attempting this yourself you are going to have a nightmare getting the front springs out with a mcpherson style compressor or none at all. I have tried both ways both ended in failure and me having to borrow a Benz specific spring compressor from a buddy. Or you can disregard anything said in this thread and get out there and cut the stock springs and leave the stock struts and bounce like a "gangsta" haha!Originally Posted by hello1234
